Chapter 1: The Days Before Parting

Today is December 1st, and Leah's fifteenth birthday.

The originally quiet city of wisdom is much more lively than ever. But it's not all Leah's work.

"The Last School Days", the long-awaited activity of the third graders, also officially kicked off on this day. The three-year mages gathered together and began to party.

Of course, Leah was the protagonist of today's banquet, except for the large cake specially arranged by Isabella. Since a few days ago Professor Brad had rushed back to his office like he had lost his mind, and declared a flickering resurrection to every student he met along the way. Leah has always been hung in the focal point of the campus.

I have to say that little Lori is indeed impeccable as the protagonist of today's party, wearing a white low-cut evening dress, she wears a sapphire brooch given by Isabella, two golden double ponytails are braided on both sides of her head, and she is decorated with small and exquisite jewelry. Although Leah tonight has fully opened the elegant aura of the great noble, the three years of classmates have added a little softness to this unapproachable temperament.

So, while celebrating each other's last days on campus, they also congratulated Leah on her birthday and her success in space-time magic.

If there is anyone in the banquet who can compete with Leah, who is as dazzling as a morning star, it is probably Isabella. Although today's princess deliberately gave up the position of the protagonist to Little Lori, she is also quite outstanding.

At this time, the two of them were enjoying this beautiful banquet with Xiao Zhengtai, who came from the City of Courage.

"Speaking of which, what about the rare birthday, not to mention Leona, who hasn't been from Snow Lotus City yet, what the hell is Amy and Warriff? Carlisle is the only one here. ”

Isabella said suspiciously, holding up her glass. Because the mage is more taboo about alcohol, even for such a banquet, everyone just enjoyed some drinks and dessert wine with a very low degree.

"Ahh If that's it..."

Leah took a sip of the bubbling juice in her goblet, and although there was no mature technology on the continent of Evette to compress gases such as carbon dioxide into drinks, there was a wind-based potion called bubble grass that solved the problem perfectly. That's why among mages, this soda-like drink is very popular.

"Warriff was dragged to a duel, so Amy naturally too..."

On the other side, Carlisle took Leah's words.

"Duel! on the first day of the feast!?because?"

Isabella looked surprised.

"Because of you, dear Isabella, and me, and Leona and Amy. ”

Leah replied.

"What do you mean?"

"If you will forgive me for being immodest, dear Isabella, you must that there is no boy in the whole of Ed Nihuali who can circle around such a beautiful woman as us all day long as Vorleaf. ”

To put it bluntly, it was the jealous boys who united and decided to give Warriff an unforgettable memory in the days before leaving school. Of course, because of the nature of play, even though Leah has achieved it, it has not been stopped. Reputedly... They are just going to get Warrif Aruba out.

"I see, these boys are..."

Isabella sighed, since it was just a farcical fight, it didn't matter.

"Speaking of which, I'm fine. ”

Carlisle was a little relieved, and according to Leah, it seemed that he should not have been spared.

"The boys' jealousy is directed at the boys, and because Carlisle's gender is Carlisle, it doesn't matter. ”

And Leah said with a natural expression.

"Woo... I don't really understand it, but I always feel that Leah seems to have said something very rude. ”

Carlisle pursed her lips cutely, allowing Lord Lucifer to receive the souls of several more male mages at this banquet.

"Well... But then again, Leah really doesn't have to go home, Duke Brown will definitely prepare a banquet for you that is a thousand times more grand than this. ”

Isabella asked.

"I'd love to, but I'd love to stay, Isabella, after all, we've not been with each other for long, haven't we?"

"That's right. ”

At the thought that after a while, everyone was about to go their separate ways, and Isabella's expression became melancholy.

But the melancholy didn't last long... Because the mermaid girl who suddenly came out of nowhere, hugged the little Lori and rubbed it.

"It's okay! Melty will always be with the adults!"

"Wow! Melti!? let me go!"

For the mermaid girl who was sticky like a plaster, Leah could only helplessly try to push it away.

"Hey... It's still the same. ”

Carlisle and Isabella were laughing and crying at the everyday scene. ???So, did you just leave your father behind, little Leah?"

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind him that Leah couldn't even imagine. Little Lori looked back and saw Brown, who couldn't have been here. Duke of Farain.

"Father... Father... Father... Father's !?"

"Don't be so surprised, my most beloved daughter has actually managed to restore her flickering magic. Even if it's the same, as your father, I can't continue to sit at home, can I?"

Old Man Brown seemed pleased with the effect of his sudden appearance, and laughed wickedly. As a matter of courtesy, he exchanged pleasantries with Princesses Isabella and Carlisle before turning his gaze back to Leah.

"Happy birthday, Leah. ”

Jue smiled and said:

"And congratulations on successfully restoring the flickering in space magic. ”

"Father..."

Jue's words were plain, but they were full of family warmth. This touched Leah a little.

"You are my pride. ”

Gently hugged little Lori, Jue nodded affirmatively.

"So, you don't object to me going to Avedra?"

Leah stuck out her little tongue and looked at Jue with a little coquettishness in her mischievousness.

"I have reason to object. Now that you've proven your talent in space-time magic, I think the honor of the teacher is within your reach. ”

The Lord spread his hands, he really had no reason to stop Leah. At first, he objected only because most of the mages who studied space-time magic had died. Now that Leah has succeeded, Old Man Brown should support this decision. After all, the role of the honorary title of division in the political arena cannot be underestimated.

"But, I think I have to say that I'm angry that you went to slay the dragon without me. ”

As soon as the words changed, Jue Yan sΓΉ got up.

"Ahh

So little Lori shrunk her neck, and when things got to this point, the dragon slayer obviously couldn't hide it. With the power of the duke, it was easy to figure out what little Lori had encountered in the process of learning to flicker. Not to mention that the incident itself has been recorded by Professor Brad of Continental History, and even troubadours have begun to sing it in taverns or squares today.

"Anyway, if something like this happens in the future, you should ask for my help, Leah. The daughter of the Duke's family doesn't need to be so much for a fifth-level wurm wolf. ”

Jue sighed with an expression that he didn't know what to say. Wulong's, if you use the army, it's a breeze at all.

"Because I thought my father was going to stop me. ”

Leah stuck out her little tongue and said with a look full of grievances.

"To be honest, I used to be, but now you've proven your mettle to me, so in the future... If something goes into trouble, remember to make Fareen your strength, Leah. ”

Jue said. If there is one thing that he regrets about this incident, it is that he does not seem to help his daughter too much. Sometimes, it doesn't seem to be a good thing for a daughter to be too much, and Jue thought lonely.

"Understood!"

Perhaps because of the banquet, little Lori seemed more lively than usual, and she blinked her eyes and made a naughty military salute.

"Well, since it's a banquet, let's have fun together. I wanted to tell the dean that the goddess was on top of it, and I never expected to fall in love with this school one day. ”

Because of Leah's relationship, Old Man Brown seems to have improved even the mood of hating Ed Nihua for 10,000 years.

After the Lord left, Isabella and Lori continued to devote themselves to the banquet.

After a while, Leah came to the empty windowsill of the castle hall, leaning against the fence, looking at the night view of Ed Nihua, as if she wanted to imprint it deeply in her mind.

Although you can't see the city that never sleeps on the earth, there is still a mystery and simplicity that belongs to the other world.

"Speaking of which, I don't think I've officially congratulated you yet, Leah. ”

At some point, Carlisle came to little Lori's side, also leaning on the fence and looking into the distance and said.

"Carlisle..."

"Have you already decided, become a teacher?"

"Well, I..."

Leah hesitated in the face of Carlisle's inquiry. Although Xiao Lori is becoming more and more addicted to magic, in the final analysis, the reason why she wants to become a teacher is because of her marriage relationship with Xiao Zhengtai. Even if she had never said it to Carlisle, the clever little was vaguely aware of it.

Now the Britt family is in danger, and the original marriage with little Lori may be a life-saving straw that can change their fate.

And now, Leah is about to cut this life-saving straw with her own hands. So she wanted to say sorry to Carlisle.

"You don't have to apologize. ”

Carlisle, who sensed Leah's thoughts, shook her head and interrupted Lori. After getting along for so long, even Xiao Zhengtai had to admit that he began to have an indescribable feeling for Xiao Lori in his heart. So Leah's rejection of the marriage made him a little disappointed. But if you taste it carefully, it doesn't seem to be the pain of falling out of love.

"Rest assured, the men of the Britt family are not so weak. Neither I nor my eldest brother have any intention of recovering the honor they belong to by marriage. So Leah just needs to focus on pursuing the path she has chosen. ”

Putting away the feeling of friendship and unfulfilled lovers, Carlisle turned his head to look at Leah and said, under the night breeze, the cute little Shota revealed in his smile that he was strong and hearty that belonged to a man.
